Parker about Tignanello 1997
During the recording ceremony for the 1971 Tignanello, I had the opportunity to taste four editions of the wine spanning the four decades of its production. The 1997 Tignanello was by far the most enjoyable of these wines. It is experiencing a perfect moment in its drinking window. Looking through The Wine Advocate archive, I see the suggestion of Brett in a past review. I found absolutely no imperfections in this wine. Instead, the bouquet is generous and opulent with dark berry, spice, licorice and leather. Much of the Tignanello vineyards were replanted in the 1990s so I expect that the fruit came from younger vines. The finish is silky and long in persistence.

Tignanello 1997
The 1997 Tignanello from Marchesi Antinori is an ode to the elegance and refinement of Tuscan winemaking. This vintage opens the door to a harmonious dance of the senses, allowing wine lovers to embark on an unforgettable journey through aromas and flavors.
This majestic wine comes from Antinori's magnificent vineyards in the Chianti Classico region, where the vines are bathed in the Tuscan sun. The unique terroir of this region, coupled with meticulous vineyard management, gives the 1997 Tignanello its distinctive character.
In this cuvée, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc blend harmoniously. Each grape variety contributes its unique facets, and their blend in this vintage achieves a unique synergy.
The nose is enveloped by a bouquet of ripe dark cherries, black currants, and a hint of blackberries. Undertones of vanilla, cocoa, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs give the wine a fascinating complexity.
The 1997 Tignanello reveals a seductive texture on the palate. Velvety tannins are artfully integrated, creating a creamy mouthfeel. The balanced acidity lends the wine freshness, while a gentle oak presence reveals subtle nuances of tobacco and spice.
The finish is like a long, elegant curtain slowly descending. The 1997 Tignanello leaves a lasting impression of fruitiness, spice, and enchanting finesse.
